Historic heat




That is the ACTUAL temperature, right now, not a heat index value. But tomorrow's predicted heat index of 114 is amazing, absolutely amazing. The near future offers no relief, says the weather service--

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY... WHICH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 AM EDT SATURDAY. AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH HAS ALSO BEEN ISSUED. THIS EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING

* LOCATIONS... EASTERN AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL GEORGIA LOCATED SOUTHEAST OF A LINE NEAR ATHENS THROUGH MACON AND LUMPKIN.

* HEAT INDEX VALUES... NEAR 105 DEGREES THIS AFTERNOON AND INCREASING TO 110-114 DEGREES SATURDAY AND 110-112 DEGREES SUNDAY.

LOL I have my AC on. It is a window unit doing its best to keep up. I laid down for a nap and just got back up, HOTTER than when I laid down. How does one get sweaty hot just by sleeping?

WoW Elizabeth!
My daughter lives in Indiana and it is not much better.
Hope you are able to stay in where it's cool. Praying the AC keeps working OK. I think I would be taking lotsa cool showers!
~God Bless~

it's fairly hot (and humid!) here too, but it cools down at night -- nothing out of the ordinary for end of June in my part of the world, and I never leave the house without my handfan!

Francesca the handfan sounds, handy! Great idea!

Never Forsaken, I hope your daughter was in an area where they did not receive all those terrible storms. It seems if it's not one thing, it's another!
